Emmy's weebles are taking over mermaid's greenhouse!

Ah thanks so much blue you're lovely. yeah jude is still in 3-6 mnth stuff, his 6-9 stuff is all massive on him & he's a chubster too

wah thanks for reminding me 4ever i forgot to even mention here about dh, his notice is extended til end of june which is a huge relief! not jobless at xmas thank God!

Hi monkey :) Love the sound of your xmas planning. im looking forward to one day having my siblings & jude's future cousins over for xmas, for now we're all still invading my parents!

Hello!! Gosh you have all been busy on here As ever I don't have long (sorry...) so impossible to catch up properly! Wow to Sabs Barbie and 4ever thinking about ttc again!

BQ Glad you're still feeling sick, I missed when your scan is? Will be hoping all is still well!

Louey So pleased that things are going well with you too! Hope the boys are allowing you a little r&r time xxx

Blue Your snow sounds fab! Plus, I think you sound like superwoman tbh You took the day off to get the house sorted, and painted a room? OMG you are brill! I've had the last two days off as ds is sick and the best I can come up with is doing some washing, changing beds and cuddling ds in front of the tv Can you come over here please

Cupcake at you crawling into J's room! I still have moments of blind panic, like this morning when ds hadn't woken by 8.30, I was convinced something had happened He was fine!

I am SO sorry not to do more personals but dh is due home shortly, providing he's made his way through the snow, and I have to get supper started. I have been lurking, but just not managing to post as I never seem to have more than about 2 mins, so just speed read through... All is fine here, just working, looking after ds & dh, and am busy trying to get Christmas organised - we have 17 for Christmas day I really want everything to be perfect so am planning it in minute detail!
Lots of love to you all, and hope everyone's managing to stay warm (or in your case cool Barbie ) xxx

Thanks Blue my lovely! Do agree boob is just a ploy for S to get in bed with us, might get ruthless in new year! You sound like a woman on a mission today! Im in awe! Sounds like a lot of fun is had in your household! Im happy with one mission a day at the mo! Have talked dh into taking half day tomorrow so we can do snow stuff with Summer and go food shop early so we dont get stuck!

PNP this is lovely I have just done one each for the boys and thought I'd link it. louey has already done it i think

Santabarbie gets my vote

It's Christmaaaaaaas as Noddy Holder would say .

Vjayjingles or Vjj . DS1 falls sleeps after two pages and I have to remind myself to stop reading! I've set myself a target of 2 chapters per night of half-blood prince, so its HP a go-go in this hoose. Well done for e-bay uploads, 20 - you go girl! Its great seeing who is bidding, dont'w worry if there's not uch activity until the last day as people are very canny and just burst in at the last minute (as I did on Tues night and out-bid someone for a £20 COAST dress with 5 seconds to go, my heart was racing!! It brings out the competitive streak...)

cupcake - you are wlecome . Its mainly vests, cardigans and dungarees, all lovely but unless they are Mini Boden, baby clothes don't sell for much on e-bay and I'd rather give them to someone I know . I'll include some 3-6 months cardigans from NEXT as they are big made and Benj was wearing them until he was about 8 months and he's a big lad! I think I have your address but will txt if I don't.

QA welcome back and ttc ammunition at the ready...

baking not long until the 12 week magic mark, hold on..

louey - glad the DT's are behaving . Will be holding your hand come Friday..

MLS - how is DD2? So pleased the CO has helped. Would you stil be up for doing me two pictures of my boys come spring? Just file it away as I know its the last thing you want to think about at the mo!

neeko - hope you're enoying your DD filled days. We need a recent piccie please!

LBM - fellow owner of a label stroker . You are a busy woman . I take my hat off to you. I can see how you called everyone a 'J' initial, can say it faster in the mad sash out the door in the morning..

4ever - this Xmas will be extra extra special for you and rightly so . Now S's sleeping,... As you say she doesn't need fed for hunger, more out of habit so you need to decide when to close the bar.. I know its a trade off as you would miss the night time cuddles, so what you want more, night time cuddles or sleep..

I feel for you all having sleep problems, its the pits. DS1 was a poor sleeper or rather a good sleeper but a god awful early riser. Ben though has been a revelation after the early months of 4 night wakings every night . He's slept through from 6.5 months not a peep from 7-7 BUT only I think because he has been formula fed from 5 months which works two-fold 1. fills them up and 2.(and critical IMO) you don't have your boob to offer so don't get into habit of using it to console them when they do wake... I'e always been very pro bf and still am but when I hear of GG still having to feed Isabelle even when she is on 3 meals a day, then it just rings alarm bells of a habit needing to be broken.. Sorry if I sound a bit Gina Fordy..

Soo excited at some ttcers gearing up again. That ship has passed for us, happily so, but will watch and be there every step of the way for our tentavely thinking about it TTCers sabs, 4ever, barbie....

The snow up here is amazing, I've never seen it this deep ever, our snowman has been dwarfed by it . I'm home alone as took today off to gut house ahead of crimbo and thankfully DHmanaged to take DS's to his Mum's - it was touch and go and I am to admit I was going to have bit of a meltdown if I didn't get some time today. Been planning this gut out day sfor weeks...

Anyhoo, play room re-painted, new pictures up, 15 trips up loft to hide put away stuff. e-bay sales sorted, just need to dye my hair and my to do list can be ticked.

Going to watch Miranda on sky+ tonight

Bit rambly there, been on my own too long today I think

later lovelies xxx

So much x posting! At this rate ill make up for my recent dire lack of personals!

Huge hug and kiss lovelycupcake your fab post puts me to shame! Im so glad Jude let you get some more sleep in! Lol at you crawling in to his room on all fours! How funny we are now talking about no 2s! Oh and just so pleased about dh job extension! Loving celeb too, stacey a lil ray of sunshine, shaun classic, dom hilarious but now turning a bit narky dontcha think? X

LOL barbie...I'm pretty sure I'm not it would be just typical though that after a year of trying for ds, I get pregnant with #2 on our first time of 'resuming relations'
No, have been tearful about everything to do with family/children/babies/birth since ds was born

X post hello to Bq too and huge yay for throwing up in car parks! Right with ya on understanding the supersticion of name changing! We all had our funny rituals, lucky scan tops and necessary things we had to do to keep us sane in our very paranoid pregnant states! Daresay id do it all next time too!

Hi ladies!
Quick catch up while little boy naps...had to rock him in his car seat to get him to go off
Although actually last night we had the best night in ages.. slept 7 til 4am then back down til 7 after a feed... was desperately needed as the 4.30/5am starts had really been getting to me and I got quite stroppy at dh yesterday as I was so tired. Feel more human today :)
Though I did wake at 3 in a blind panic that ds had stopped breathing as he hasn't slept that long in forever. I crawled into his room on all fours and listened to him breathing... !!

barbie I'm loving IsawBarbieKissingSantaClaus... gets my vote!! :) (will probably x-post with you all and this will be irrelevant though!)
Eek to the a/c and poor Dolly's illness though, hope you're all ok. Not long til dh gets back!
Exciting about coming off the pill! I think sabs might be a bit surprised by all the talk of her having another when she logs back on though!!

4ever we have finally managed to dtd but I'm still a bit baffled by my charts at the moment so I'll be a bit nervous too
Sorry you've been having lots of wakings too with S...such hard times!

sabs bless you with the babysitting comment! Thanks :) and well done on the weight loss that's fab!

buddha E's birthday sounds so lovely! And how beautiful you marked your lost LOs too.

blue you are soooo kind, thank you, would love some more clothes! But not if you can make money for them on ebay?? Definitely up for Love Actually next Weds...can't wait!!
Also, your ds1 has great taste, Lupin is one of my fave HP characters :)

Hi Gracie!! Good to see you. I see you're in the no sleep boat too...crowded in here isn't it!! I think sleeping-through babies are a myth

LBM You sound crazy busy! Hope you find time to breathe!

BQ massive hugs to you...here's my hand for your scan. So excited to have our big pants bench populated again soon!

Louey that goes for you too; so not long! And yeah that is a good idea about a babysitting arrangement with NCT friends hadn't thought about that. BTW, at your dh hating the cinema! Does he just not really like films, or the actual cinema? I could quite happily live in a cinema (as long as nobody sitting near me talked through the films )

Neeko you're so right about a year going so quickly. That's why I'm trying not to stress/complain too much about ds's sleep... I know I'll miss his baby days so much in a year and will (maybe!) have forgotten all this. Thanks :)

Vjay I did have to LOL at VJJ...I miss iggy! Oh and at Cjay falling asleep as soon as you read!

MLS hope the osteopath works wonders on Kitty!

QA I'm also mega excited for the ttc battle...and we will never evict you, we love any excuse to get the white coats out!! My pompoms are at the ready!

Missing monkey too, hope you're ok if you're lurking.

Oh my word I'm watching last night's I'm a Celeb and tearing up at Linford Christie having missed his daughter so much...EVERYTHING makes me cry these days!

Right..off to warm my hands on a radiator somewhere...it's f-f-f-freezing here!

Ooh x post hellooo Louey glad to hear you are feeling icky sicky! Roll on friday, hope your not weebling too badly hon?! X

Hello all too supersticious to name change but here is a festive still feeling as sick as a dog went to shops vomited in car park luckily noone around as it was snowing so bad no wtucking into cheese and onion crisps troifle sponges with cream and mango lassi no wonder I am sick !!! So excited that we have some more small panters back fingers crossed for lots more bfps soon xxxx

Ooh Barbie excited for you coming off the pill! You too Sabs if we have got that right?! Pom poms and white coats ready for Qa - glad you are recovering well! Wierdly i did a test yesterday, am a few days late and got in quite a panic that it may be a bit too soon, it was a bfn! I just wanna enjoy my lil bubs a bit longer just us, however next year is another story and we havent used birth control since 2007 now, neither are we avoiding trying iykwim!
